Private schools don't count because they don't have the attendance boundaries regulations that public schools. When it comes to Private school student-athletes and coaching staff, it about them picking quality not quantity.
If private schools are allow to recruit players and compete with public schools then there should be no issue with Jeff City playing class 4 on a technicality.
That’s a wild justification. Why doesn’t Fair Grove just play down into Class 1 “on a technicality” with that logic?
I agree . Webb is gonna play class 4 this year too . Have fun with that
My Valle Warriors get to win another state championship at Class 1!! YES YES YES. Been a while! Back to dominating the small school class!
On the borderline makes no difference. There will always be a smallest school in a class and a biggest school in a class. What matters is what class their enrollment would put them in. I used them as an example, probably a poor example.
And all of Mosports has paid the price the entire season for Adrian moving up.
I was looking forward to another Adrian/Marionville matchup. More comet tears
I'm still kinda ticked they got away with the forward lateral on the hitch and pitch.
Man my uncles and bro-in-law were mad Adrian didn't get to host a playoff game.
They lost out on about a grand for an afternoon's 'work'.
Rufus is looking good.
You captured Veer2Eternity in the flesh. Dayum boyyyy, gotta work out some JACKTARD.
Mullet can confirm there is zero resemblance here.
now your school pic on the other hand..that's you or one of your stepbros.
Private School Championship Factor. They are in class 5 at least 2025. However, they are maxed out at Class 5 from their enrollment numbers.
Pleasant Hill and McDonald County are paying the price for the sins of private schools by this logic. That doesn't make any sense.
When it comes down to it, PH and MC got screwed by MSHSAA if all of this is accurate.
Here's the opposite scenario: Someone older than me will have to confirm this, but when Joplin combined its two schools (Parkwood and Memorial), both of which had been very good football (etc.) schools, they got way worse for a quite a long time.
Should happen but don't be shocked if JC comes out with tons of energy and keeps this one close at least for the first half. Kearney is heading to Hallowed ground at Adkins Stadium lots and lots of tradition/history there.
I disagree and this will be proven false when Kearney wins handedly. PH and MC would have gotten stomped by either Kearney or Smithville anyways (who are without a doubt class 4) JC might have large enrollment but that doesn't always translate to good football. Examples are most of the schools is Suburban Blue conference. Several are class 5 and don't regularly field competitive teams.
Although I will admit I felt that the conference was much stronger this year.
CORRECT. Ruskin, Ray South and Grandview have all massively upgraded their HCs and staffs.
And it was good to see. Hopefully this is just a new ground level and they can continue developing their programs and get some kids out that should be playing. It would make for some interesting football in suburban K C.
Their new HC has made some obvious improvements, if he can get buy in from those kids Ruskin could quickly turn into a contender over the next several year. If I am remembering correctly he was also a hell of a coach in KS for a long time.
As weak as class 4 is now, it isn't terribly implausible that Kearney could catch eventually JC at some point (win this year's championship and 5 more) especially if the useful trend of Kearney's high school enrollment shrinking while the city's population keeps significantly growing continues.
Maybe I dont grasp what you are saying, but how can the HS enrollment be shrinking if they citys population keeps significantly growing?
Who knows. They did a 2 year stint, I believe, in class 5 in 2012 and 2013. The town population went from around 8800 in 2012 to around 10,800 currently. If it's a ton of young families, then it makes decent sense that they won't be seeing the high school boom until here in a couple years.
I think, all around, it's foolish to think schools would be fudging their numbers anyway. Butts in the seats are a large part of determining funding, and admins love their paychecks. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but when you look at the other 99% of a school district that doesn't include football, it doesn't pass the BS test that schools would do this.
